Unexpected surprises are always exciting, just like that time when I took my children on a trip, I just wanted everyone to relax, but I didn't expect a family accident to happen.
I saw it in my eyes, and I couldn't bear it in my heart.
Just as I was struggling with how to mediate the conflict between them, an unexpected change occurred.
This friend not only welcomed us warmly, but also offered to help mediate. Looking at the sincere persuasion of her daughter-in-law's friend, the daughter-in-law finally took the initiative to apologize to her son.
It all happened so suddenly, I couldn't believe it. Watching my daughter-in-law and son gradually resolve the conflict, the stone in my heart finally landed.
Next, my kids and I started to enjoy the trip. In the scenic area, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and talked about many past events openly.
In the evenings, when our family huddled into a large bed to watch TV, I felt the warmth of home fill the room.
The son also smiled and hugged his daughter-in-law.
At this moment, I deeply feel the happiness of home, the warmth of home, and I really feel that this is the biggest unexpected surprise in life.
Will there be more surprises on our trip ahead?
In the days that followed, we continued to bask in the joy of travel. Every day is full of surprises and delights.
However, just as we were basking in happiness, a sudden phone call shattered the silence. It was the son who received the call, and his expression suddenly changed, looking a little anxious.
The son was at a loss in the face of a sudden conflict at work.
Seeing such a situation, the daughter-in-law was naturally very worried. She persuaded her son to go back to work and stay with me and the kids to enjoy the trip.
For a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward and heavy again. I knew in my heart that as a parent, I had to come forward to resolve this conflict.
After listening to my persuasion, my son's expression eased a lot. He knew he had to be worthy of his work and his family.
Watching my son pack up and leave in a hurry, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed. But I can only wish him a smooth journey.
After the son left, the room suddenly seemed a little deserted. I looked at my daughter-in-law and said softly, "He'll be back, let's continue to enjoy this trip."
I know that she will pray for her son as much as I do.
On the last day of the trip, we were again at the top of the hill and enjoyed the sunrise. The children were playing and playing, while my daughter-in-law and I sat quietly.
Although this trip has experienced some ups and downs, it has made us know how to cherish each other more. I believe that the unexpected surprises of travel will continue, and we will face the unknown together, and no matter what happens, we will support each other and get through it together.
Our family's trips are always full of surprises and surprises. As the days passed, we came to a tea town.
I thought that such an environment would make our family more harmonious, but unexpectedly, it caused a new conflict.
In the tea garden, I suddenly proposed to participate in a tea culture experience event. At this time, the son suddenly expressed his disinterest, objecting that he found such an activity too boring.
This made me feel a little unhappy, because I always want children to understand and respect traditional culture.
As a result, we had a conflict in the teahouse of the tea plantation. I wanted to let the children know about the charm of traditional culture, but they ignored it.
I blame them for not being able to arbitrarily deny traditional culture, and that they should understand and respect it.
My son said I was too rigid and stuck in old traditions, ignoring the changes in reality. My daughter-in-law also expressed her disinterest in traditional culture and thought that I should not impose it on them.
In the teahouse, I sipped a cup of tea alone, thinking about this contradiction. Perhaps, my mistake was to forcibly arrange activities that the children are not interested in.
During this time, I felt a little lost.
Resolving family conflicts doesn't happen overnight, and I know I need to communicate openly and honestly with my children. This unexpected surprise may be a reminder of the need for more understanding and tolerance in my family, rather than one-sided insistence.
